Salvador Valera Parra was a Spanish Catholic priest, often referred to as Cura Valera, who served various parishes in the Murcia and Almería provinces. Born in 1816 in Huércal-Overa, he lived a life of simplicity and dedication to his community. He gained recognition for his compassionate service during a cholera epidemic in Cartagena and for his humble devotion to his home town. Following his death in 1889, he was declared venerable by Pope Francis and was later beatified in 2026.
